title: File Read
description: The `FileReadTool` is designed to read files from the local file system.
icon: folders
---
## Overview
<Note>
We are still working on improving tools, so there might be unexpected behavior or changes in the future.
</Note>
The FileReadTool conceptually represents a suite of functionalities within the crewai_tools package aimed at facilitating file reading and content retrieval.
This suite includes tools for processing batch text files, reading runtime configuration files, and importing data for analytics.
It supports a variety of text-based file formats such as `.txt`, `.csv`, `.json`, and more. Depending on the file type, the suite offers specialized functionality,
such as converting JSON content into a Python dictionary for ease of use.
## Installation
To utilize the functionalities previously attributed to the FileReadTool, install the crewai_tools package:
```shell
pip install 'crewai[tools]'
```
## Usage Example
To get started with the FileReadTool:
```python Code
from crewai_tools import FileReadTool
# Initialize the tool to read any files the agents knows or lean the path for
file_read_tool = FileReadTool()
# OR
# Initialize the tool with a specific file path, so the agent can only read the content of the specified file
file_read_tool = FileReadTool(file_path='path/to/your/file.txt')
```
## Arguments
- `file_path`: The path to the file you want to read. It accepts both absolute and relative paths. Ensure the file exists and you have the necessary permissions to access it.
